* HeroicComedicSociopath: Mike really is dangerous just to be around. He would easily qualify as ChaoticStupid in D&D terms. He has so many quirks and abnormalities that may set him off on a punching tangent at any moment, and he rarely ever thinks about what he's doing when he's doing it.

You\'re not supposed to put entire trope entries as sub-entries to another trope. These two come one right after the other anyway, so it\'s not going to matter much.

''Mike Tyson Mysteries'' is an animated show on the Creator/AdultSwim Network. In the same vein that ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'' is a throw back to 60's SuperScience shows like ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyQuest'', this is a throwback to both Creator/HannaBarbera mystery cartoons and 80's action hero shows like ''WesternAnimation/MisterT'' and ''WesternAnimation/ChuckNorrisKarateKommandos.''

The premise of the show is Mike Tyson (As himself) goes off and solves mysteries around the world, along with his friends, consisting of a ghost known as The Marquee of Queensberry, Mike's adopted daughter [[OnlySaneMan Yung Hee]], and [[TalkingAnimal Pigeon]] (voiced by Creator/NormMacDonald), a man who's ex-wife transferred his mind into the body of a pigeon. They find a mystery to go off and solve, and HilarityEnsues, with Mike himself usually causing most of the problems.

!!Tropes:

* AsHimself: Mike Tyson voices himself.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Mike admits that this is all just "A FUCKING CARTOON!"
* {{Chupacabra}}: Mike has a hard time pronouncing it correctly.
* DeadpanSnarker: Pigeon, courtesy of Creator/NormMacDonald.
* DrowningMySorrows: Pigeon downs his drink after seeing an employee of famed author Cormac [=McCarthy=] who looks exactly like his wife.
* GroinAttack: The moment Mike sees the chupacabra that's been terrorizing the ranch, he immediately punches it right in the groin.
* MissingMom: Yung Hee wonders why her mom abandoned her on Mike's doorstep when she was a baby.
* WouldHitAGirl: When Mike Tyson enters his "Fight-or-Flight" mode, he goes off running for his life, running up stairs past an old lady along the way. A moment later, he comes back, and punches her, [[RefugeInAudacity just because]] he's in Fight-or-Flight mode.
